The Duchess of Sussex, 38, caught a commercial flight from London to New York City to watch her close friend Serena Williams compete in the 2019 U.S. Open final. The tennis star will be playing for her 24th Grand Slam singles title on Saturday against Bianca Andreescu.

Markle's decision to fly commercial comes just weeks after she and Prince Harry were criticized for using private jets to fly to the South of France and Ibiza on vacation.

The British royals were called hypocrites because planes have a negative impact on the environment yet they both say they are advocates of flighting climate change. Their trip to Nice, France was to spend time at Elton John's home.

John later said in a statement that he provided the flight for the Sussexes to preserve their safety and privacy.

“I am deeply distressed by today’s distorted and malicious account in the press surrounding the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s private stay at my home in Nice last week,” the singer tweeted. “Prince Harry’s Mother, Diana Princess Of Wales was one of my dearest friends. I feel a profound sense of obligation to protect Harry and his family from the unnecessary press intrusion that contributed to Diana’s untimely death.”

"It is a last-minute trip," the source said. "Excited to support her friend, and then come back."

This is Markle's first time back in New York City since her star-studded baby shower in February. Williams and Amal Clooney co-hosted the shower, which included guests such as Gayle King and Abigail Spencer.
